These were planted in the vegetable garden where the soil is good & rich. I have NEVER seen Zinnias do so well. They grew to 4 feet and had at least a dozen flower stalks on each plant.

Finally got the Bothy & work area organized so I can work there and overwinter some cuttings and tender plants. No, it is not yet finished, we still lack all the windows required. Unlike Connie of Heartwood Roses, I have no experience with carpentry so I depend on occasional labor when I can get it. (see Connie’s greenhouse here)

The pots are stored, (they will be moved later when the sink is installed in its place) the potting bench is a good height, and we incorporated a ‘drainage bench’. This should make our spring transplant marathon go smoothly with less backache.

Cuttings will go into the cold frame for the winter. Below

Two comfortable chairs, an extra fridge & some storage….

now for the tea making facilities….. electric kettle at Target this week for sure!
